Our tiatrists do a great service to the Goan society they educate our
masses through their tiatros and songs. In my opinion, they are more
concerned about us and better foresighted than our politicians, who show
their concern for us only during election time to get votes from us.
The article in the link below talks about three Panchayats passing a
resolution in Gram Sabha to keep a watch on the influx of non-Goans coming
to their villages.
M. Boyer, one of the living legends of the Konkani stage and Padmashree
award winner, who is suffering from Parkinsons disease, had been sounding
such warnings all along and he expressed his feelings in one of his songs a
little over a decade ago.
The norm in the past to contest Assembly elections was to first get elected
as a Sarpanch, serve the public, gain their confidence, contest the election
and get elected as an MLA. The non-Goans are already following this path.
In the last Village Panchayat election, the Sancoale residents elected a
migrant as their Sarpanch, thus setting a precedent. This is only the
beginning. There must be many waiting to follow suit.
If the lady survives in the position (she finds it difficult to articulate
in Konkani or English, as her mother tongue appears to be Hindi), her next
move will be to contest Assembly elections. Who can then stop migrants from
becoming Chief Minister of the state? This is exactly what M. Boyer
expresses in the last line of his song.
Nam tor ek dis Goencho Muki Montri pasun bhailea gaumcho zatolo.
(Otherwise, one day we might even end up having an outsider for a Chief
Minister)!
Here are the lyrics of the song BHAILO LOK GOENKAR ZATA (Outsiders become
Goans), composed and sung by M. Boyer taken from his audio cassette
TIATRIST:
I
Goa xarache put mhunn ami, vhoddlem bhogta vhoddponn
Bhailo lok Goeam ievn, Goenkar mhunnttat aponn
Lok chodd zavn vollkonk mevonam, Goenkar konn bhaile konn
Atanch upai ghenant tor ami, kabar amchem Goemkarponn
Chorus
Jednam Purtugez Goenche gelele, tednam zaite zann Goeam ghuslele
Serkaran bori survey korun, Goenkar sov lak asat mhunnon sanglele
Atam ieileat te ghor-dar naslele, disti poddttat foot-pairer nidlele
Atam ankaim mezun sov lak Goemkar, derepent tera lak zale
II
Moddgonv, Ponnje, Mapxeam, Vasco, Goenchea muki xaranim
Apnnank zai thuim zompddeo bandleat, bhailea ganvchea munxeanim
Ek zoddi punn kitlinch bhurgim, eke-eke zompddeanim
Akach lagon Goencho lok, vaddot veta lakanim
Chorus
Suvato nagoileo serkaracheo, pordesan aslelea bhattkarancheo
Vincharlear mhunnttat zompddeo chear disancheo, apnnank khuim suat mevtoch
rokddeo moddpacheo
Bhailean teo zompddeo distat chuddttancheo, bhitorlean vontti bandleat
fatrancheo
Chotur ravat Goenkaranim heo zompddeo, amkam ghat korpacheo
III
Ratieam bhitor zompddeo bandun, suatui apli korta
Bhattkar tankam vincharit tor, bhattkarak kortin vorta
Montri-amdar motanche axen, zompddeank adhar dhita
Tanchea adharan te zompddeank nolle ghalun, bhailo lok Goenkar zata
Chorus
Thodde mhunnttat Goem amchem konn vortolo, punn ek dis ugddas amkam ietolo
Bhailo lok Goeam ievn bhortolo, Goenkarankuch vollkonk Goencho lok visortolo
Asa tor konn borem dektolo, tem atanch tharear ghalun soddttolo
Nam tor ek dis Goencho muki montri pasun, bhailea ganvcho zatolo
